WINTER DAWN by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE TREES ARE STILL; THE BARE COLD BRANCHES LIE
Last Line: IF YOU KNEW WHAT'S TO COME!
Subject(s): DAWN; SUNRISE;
The trees are still; the bare cold branches lie
Against a waiting sky.
Light everywhere, but ghostly light that seems
The cast-off robe of dreams;
And everywhere a hush that seems to hark
At the doorway of the dark.
O fields, white-sheeted, desolate and dumb, --
If you knew what's to come!
